About Kiwi
Kiwi (hardy or fuzzy) is a vigorous fruiting vine that produces loads of sweet-tart fruit — but you need both male and female plants and a sturdy support.
Plant one male for every 6-8 female vines on a strong trellis. Prune hard in winter and summer to control vigor. Hardy kiwis (Actinidia arguta) crop in 3-5 years.
Gardening in Utah
Utah has an arid continental climate. Salt Lake City is Zone 6b-7a; southern Utah is Zone 7-8; mountains are Zone 4-5. Low humidity and alkaline soils require irrigation and soil amendment.
